Using the Fishfinder 340C > Marking a Waypoint
Marking a Waypoint
You can use Pointer mode to move a cursor around on the paused Sonar Page to reference sonar items and mark waypoints for that location (if your Fishfinder is attached to a Garmin GPS or compatible NMEA navigation device; see page 16). When you use Pointer mode, a data field appears at the top of the graph with the cursor’s depth, surface temperature for that location, and GPS coordinates (if available). This makes it easy to save the location of an underwater object (such as a stump, rock, or brush pile), which you can navigate back to with your GPS receiver.
To enable NMEA input/output:
1.Press and hold ADJ/MENU. The Main Menu appears.
2.Use the ROCKER to select the System tab.
3.Use the ROCKER to select the NMEA Input/Output field. Press ENTER.
4.Use the ROCKER to select On. Press ENTER. On appears in the field.
5.Press QUIT to return to the previous page.
To start or stop Pointer mode on a Sonar Page:
1.From a Sonar Page, hold PAUSE for two seconds. The Fishfinder is now in Pointer mode.
2.Use the ROCKER to move the cursor around on the screen.
Information about the Pointer location appears on the screen.
3.Press QUIT to resume normal scrolling.
